It's mid morning by the time I head out to explore Charlottetown after skyping with some friends. I check out Province House ( the birthplace of Canada) and Government House before jumping on the bike to Greenwich PEI National Park and hiking out to the wetlands, dunes and beach.

A massive days ride takes me from Quebec along the eastern shore of New Brunswick and into Prince Edward Island. A friendly hostel awaits together with dinner in a lively street mall with local performers.
